Incredibly Dark Horses (R) - The Time Capsule

[Nixon in '80]

Joseph Cao

I think that one takes the cake for out-thereness.

I once proudly declared on this forum that if Palin became the VP nominee I'd eat my own hat

....but that was kind of an empty threat, since your hat was made out of delicious waffles.

[Kaine for Senate '18]

Chuck Hagel.  He's said he wants to continue serving his country somehow - please let it be from the Oval Office.  I'll be first in line to support him.

I could see myself supporting Hagel, if Obama flounders.

hopefully Obama won't flounder.

Agreed, but if he does, then I hope either Hagel or Petraeus will run.  I'd rather have a good Republican than a bad Democrat.

Is it kosher to jump the gun and support random freshmen representatives for PRESIDENT now?

Oh what the hell...

CYNTHIA LUMMIS FOR PRESIDENT



REPRESENTATIVE FOR WYOMING'S AT LARGE DISTRICT

NO, TOM MCCLINTOCK 4 PREZ

[DownWithTheLeft]

Thune if he counts as a dark horse, if not mine as well say it:

Gov. Christopher Christie (R-NJ)

[TomC]

Rick Santorum

[Lincoln Republican]

Pawlenty.

[JSojourner]

Pawlenty.

I wouldn't consider him a dark horse.  I mean, he was looked at pretty closely as a possible running mate this time around...and he's been pretty high profile among the GOP governors. Pawlenty, Crist, Jindal and Huntsman...and to a less extent Barbour and Sanford are getting at least some buzz among armchair political junkies.

Rounds and Hoeven are more of the dark horse sort.  At least as governors go.
